                  The new iPhone 3G should please everyone. Its look and feel are only slightly improved,
              but a faster network loads Web pages more quickly, true GPS functionality allows it to easily
              find places nearby, and the new $199 price (down from $400) makes it an affordable luxury.
                  Before deciding whether to buy, however, make sure you can actually take advantage of
              the iPhone 3G's high-speed data network. 3G stands for third-generation, which in non-geek
              speak translates to Web pages and mail messages that, ideally, load about three times faster
              than on the original iPhone. Even better, 3G coverage enables you to make a phone call and surf
              the Web at the same time. That's great, if you live or work in a place where the 3G network of
              AT&T (美国电话电报公司) (the sole wireless carrier of the iPhone) is active. That's not so
              great in cities like New York where AT&T's cellular coverage is awful. As one of my colleagues
              in New York City, who bought the original iPhone, commented, "It's just a toy. You can't make
              phone calls on it, so I carry my Verizon phone with me all the time."
                  The real fun begins when you tap on the icon called "App Store" and start browsing the hundreds
              of add-on applications that have been developed just for the iPhone. You'll find tons of games (I like
              JirboBreak, a free game inspired by the Atari classic Breakout) and mobile versions of popular
              websites like Pandora, Facebook, MySpace and the New York Times. Most apps will cost you,
              but the vast majority are $9.99 or less. The apps work on the old iPhones too, but you'll enjoy them
              a lot more on the iPhone 3G because many of the programs, including Yelp (local business reviews),
              Whrrl (mobile social networking) and UrbanSpoon (restaurant reviews), use your exact location-
              provided by the iPhone 3G's GPS chip-to make recommendations. The apps also load much faster
              over the 3G network.
              1. The new iPhone 3G has following features except that _____.
              A. It looks and feels better
              B. It has a faster network
              C. It is easy to locate a place
              D. It is too expensive for people to buy
              2. Why do one of my colleagues carry Verizon phone with him all the time?
              A. Because iPhone 3G is just a toy.
              B. ecause he prefers Verizon phone better.
              C. Because AT&T's cellular coverage is terrible there.
              D. Because Verizon phone enables him make a phone call and surf the Web at the same time.
              3. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage.
              A. App Store will offer you great fun.
              B. many apps have been developed for the iPhone.
              C. Most apps are very expensive.
              D. Pandora, Facebook, MySpace and the New York Times are popular websites.
              4. From the passage we know that the attitude of the author toward iPhone 3G is _____.
              A. doubtful
              B. appreciative
              C. optimistic
              D. pessimistic

                   Psychology (心理学) tells us that many people hate to take risks. But it is good for us to take risks,
              especially (尤其)when the risk is to achieve a desired result. In that way, we become stronger and braver.
                   Our human nature should be to take risks, but some people just sit and wish they didn't have the fear
              (恐惧) to move on. This is because of one or two failures in their lives. Please step out and don't let the
              past hold you back from living life to the fullest. Move forward and move on!
                   In studying the psychology of taking risks, we find that human nature provides (提供) us with the
              desire (渴望)to experiment and take chances.
                   Risk taking is a great benefit(好处)that allowed our ancestors(祖先) to become stronger and stronger
              day by day. By taking risks they fought off enemies and discovered new territories(领土). This attitude has
              become a part of our modern culture. Riding a roller coaster is a common risk taking activity that even the
              average person seems to enjoy although they have the understanding that it is dangerous. This psychological
              and biological (生物学上的) connection (联系)creates an interesting connection between what is unsafe
              and what humans enjoy. Getting in a car each day is a risk.
                   Getting out of bed is a risk. There is such thing as perfect safety. We need to take risks so that we can
              finish many things. Astronauts take risks when they get inside a rocket; however, the things they achieve
              are great. Businessmen take a risk when they buy parts of a company. However, without doing that, they
              could not make more money.
                   We need to take risks so that we can gain something. It is impossible to move forward in life, earn
              money, enjoy a relationship, play a sport, or do anything else without taking a risk. It is all part of the game.
              It's one of the most important parts of life.
              1. Some people don't want to take risks, mainly (主要)because _______.
              A. they are too lazy to move on
              B. they feel pleased with the present life.
              C. they have experienced some failures before
              D. they show little interest in the strange world outside
              2. What does the underlined part "This attitude" in Paragraph 4 mean? 
              A. Taking risks
              B. Fighting off enemies
              C. Discovering new territories
              D. Becoming stronger and stronger3. What can we infer from the passage?
              A. Daily life is full of risks
              B. The safest place has the greatest risk
              C. People should take risks when they are young
              D. We can always achieve our goals by taking risks
              4. What would be the title for the passage?
              A. Taking risks is easier said than done
              B. On risks taken by ancestors
              C. Live our life to the fullest (充分地)
              D. No risk, no gain.

                   A Southampton University team found that people who were vegetarians by 30 had recorded five IQ points
              higher on average at the age of 10. Researchers said it could explain why people with a higher IQ were healthier as a vegetarian diet was connected to lower heart disease and obesity rates. The study of 8,179 people was
              reported in the British Medical Journal.
                   Twenty years after the IQ tests were carried out in 1970, 366 of the participants said they were vegetarians
              -although more than 100 reported eating either fish or chicken.
                    Men who were vegetarians had an IQ score of 106, compared with 101 for non-vegetarians; while female
              vegetarians averaged 104, compared with 99 for non-vegetarians. There was no difference in the IQ scores,
              between strict vegetarians and those who said they were vegetarians but reported eating fish or chicken.
                   Researchers said the findings were partly related to better education and higher class, but it remained
              statistically significant after adjusting for these factors.
                   Vegetarians were more likely to be female, to be of higher social class and to have higher academic or
              vocational qualifications than non-vegetarians. However, these differences were not reflected in their annual
              income, which was similar to that of non-vegetarians.
                   Lead researcher Catharine Gale said, "The findings that children with greater intelligence are more likely to
              report being vegetarians as adults, together with the evidence on the potential benefits of a vegetarian diet on
              heart health, may help to explain why a higher IQ in childhood or adolescence is linked with a reduced risk of
              coronary heart disease in adult life.
                   But Dr Frankie Phillips of the British Dietetic Association said,"It is_like the chicken and egg. Do
              people become vegetarians because they have a very high IQ or is it just that they are clever enough to be more
              aware of health issues?"
              1. What's the result of the research mentioned in the text?
              A. Intelligent children are more likely to become vegetarians later in life.
              B. Children with a higher IQ are less likely to have heart disease later in life.
              C. Intelligent children tend to belong to higher social class later in life.
              D. Children with a healthier heart tend to have a higher IQ later in life.
              2. It was found in the research that______.
              A. most of the participants became vegetarians 20 years after the IQ tests were carried out
              B. vegetarians who ate fish or chicken were of similar intelligence with strict vegetarians
              C. female vegetarians were more likely to have higher annual income than non-vegetarians
              D. vegetarians were more likely to have higher annual income than non-vegetarians
              3. What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean?
              A. Intelligence is linked to not just being a vegetarian but to many factors.
              B. The rate of getting heart disease is linked to your lifestyle.
              C. The link between a high IQ and being a vegetarian is still uncertain.
              D. The link between a healthy heart and diet remains to be proved.
              4. What' s the best title for the text?
              A. Get more IQ points!

                  The question "How long do fish live?" is not as simple as it seems. There are thousands of different kinds
              of fishes, and they are quite different from each other in size and life period. What's more, it is not easy to
              find out just how long a fish lives in its natural state.
                   We can find out how old a fish is by studying its scales, but we can not say how long more it would have
              lived if we had not caught it.
                   We may keep fishes and record their life period but we can't be sure that this is the length of time they
              would have lived had they been left alone.
                   We may make marking to show how fast the fishes grow so that we can calculate the age of the largest
              on record, but unless this large fish dies of old age we are still not in a position to know its natural life period.
                   Unlike human beings, fishes do not stop growing when they have grown up. They continue to grow as
              long as they live, although the speed of growth slows down in mature fishes.
              1. What can the scales of a fish tell us?
              [     ]

              A. Its age
              B. Its life period
              C. Its size
              D. Its growth speed
              2. How can we find out the natural life period of a fish?
              [     ]

              A. We ought to keep a fish with great care.
              B. This article refers to no way of settling the problem.
              C. We must go on recording while we're keeping a fish.
              D. We should make marking of its growth speed and calculate its life period.
              3. In the last sentence "mature fishes" refer to _____ fishes.

                                                                                Blogs (博客)
                   A "blogger" is a person who writes on an Internet website called a "blog". The word "blog" is a short way
              of saying "web log", or "personal website". Anyone can start a blog, and they can write about anything they
              like.
                   There are millions of blogs on the internet today. They provide news information and ideas to the people
              who read them. They contain links to other websites, and they provide a place for people to write their ideas
              and react to the ideas of others.
                   A research company called Perseus has studied more than 3,000 web logs. It says that blogs are most
              popular with teenage girls. They use them to let their friends know what is happening in their lives. The study
              also says that more than 100,000 bloggers stopped taking part in the activity after a year.
                   However, some people develop serious blogs to present political and other ideas. For example, the
              Republican and Democratic parties in the southern state of Kentucky recently started their own blogs. And
              American companies are beginning to use blogs to advertise their products.
                   At the same time, some long-standing blogs have ended. Last week, blogging leader Dave Winer closed
              his free blog service "weblogs. com". He said the site became too costly to continue. he started the blog four
              years ago, and thousands of people had written on it. They are now upset because they did not know that the
              site was closed.
                   One blog that is still going strong is called Rebecca's Pocket. Rebecca Blood created the website in 1999.
              She wrote about the history of blogs on the site. That article led to a book called The Weblog Handbook. It
              has been translated into four languages so far.
                   Miss Blood says Rebecca's Pocket gets about thirty thousand visitors a month. She writes about anything
              and everything-politics, culture and movies. She recently provided medical advice. And she wrote about how
              to prevent being stolen from online bank accounts.
              1. The text is mainly written to _____.
              [     ]

              A. introduce an internet website called "blog".
              B. introduce a short way of saying "web log"
              C. tell readers about blogs.
              D. tell readers how to write blogs
              2. From the text we can learn that blogs cover almost everything except _____.
              [     ]

              A. different ideas
              B. medical advice
              C. advertisements
              D. account passwords
              3. The reason why Rebecc's Pocket is still going strong is that _____.
              [     ]

              A. it was created by a woman
              B. it is about the history of blogs
              C. it provides useful information and advice

                   "It hurts me more than you." and "This is for your own good." These are the statements my mother used
              to make years ago when I had to learn Latin, clean my room, stay home and do homework. 　　
                   That was before we entered the permissive period in education in which we decided it was all right not to
              push our children to achieve their best in school. 　　
                   The schools and the educators made it easy for us. They thought that it was right to be parents who take
              a let alone policy. We stopped making our children do homework. We gave them calculators (计算器), turned
              on the television, left the teaching to the teachers and went on vacation. 　　
                   Now teachers, having taught many children who have been developing at their own step for the past 15
              years, are realizing we've made a terrible mistake. Sharon Klompus is such a teacher who thinks her students
              "so passive" and wonders what happened. Nothing was demanded of them. She believes that Television
              contributes to children's passivity. "We're not training kids to work anymore," says Klompus. "We're talking
              about a generation of kids who've never been hurt or hungry. They have learned somebody will always do it
              for them. Instead of saying' go and look it up', you tell them the answer. It takes greater energy to say no to
              a kid." 　　
                   Yes, it does. It takes energy and it takes work. It's time for parents to end their vecation and come back
              to work. It's time to take the car away, to turn the TV off, to tell them it hurts you more than them but it's
              for their own good. It's time to start telling them no again.
              1. Children are becoming more inactive in study because _____.

              A. they watch TV too often

                   Language learning begins with listening. Children are greatly different in the amount of listening they do
              before they start speaking, and later starters are often long listeners. Most children will "obey" spoken
              instructions some time before they can speak, though the word "obey" is hardly accurate as a description of
              the eager and delighted cooperation usually shown by the child. Before they can speak, many children will
              also ask questions by gesture and by making questioning noises.
                   Any attempt to study the development from the noises babies make to their first spoken words leads to
              considerable difficulties. It is agreed that they enjoy making noises, and that during the first few months one
              or two noises sort themselves as particularly expressive as delight, pain, friendliness, and so on. But since
              these can't be said to show the baby's intention to communicate, they can hardly be regarded as early forms
              of language. It is agreed, too, that from about three months they play with sounds for enjoyment, and that by
              six months they are able to add new words to their store. This selfimitation (模仿) leads on to deliberate (有意
              的) imitation of sounds made or words spoken to them by other people. The problem then arises as to the point
              at which one can say that these imitations can be considered as speech.
                   It is a problem we need to get out teeth into. The meaning of a word depends on what a particular person
              means by it in a particular situation and it is clear that what a child means by a word will change as he gains
              more experience of the world. Thus the use at seven months of "mama" as a greeting for his mother cannot be
              dismissed as a meaningless sound simply because he also uses it at other times for his father, his dog, or
              anything else he likes. Playful and meaningless imitation of what other people say continues after the child has
              begun to speak for himself, I doubt, however whether anything is gained when parents take advantage of this
              ability in an attempt to teach new sounds.
              1. Before children start speaking _____.
              [     ]

              A. they need equal amount of listening
              B. they need different amounts of listening
              C. they are all eager to cooperate with the adults by obeying spoken instructions
              D. they can't understand and obey the adult's oral instructions
              2. Children who start speaking late _____.
              [     ]

              A. may have problems with their listening
              B. probably do not hear enough language spoken around them
              C. usually pay close attention to what they hear
              D. often take a long time in learning to listen properly
              3. The problem of deciding at what point a baby's imitations can be considered as speech _____.
              [     ]

              A. is important because words have different meanings for different people
              B. is not especially important because the changeover takes place gradually
              C. is one that should be properly understood because the meaning of words changes with age
              D. is one that should be completely ignored (忽略) because children's use of words is often meaningless
              4. The speaker wants to tell us that _____.
              [     ]

              A. parents can never hope to teach their children new sounds
              B. children no longer imitate people after they begin to speak
              C. even after they have learnt to speak,children still enjoy imitating
              D. children who are good at imitating learn new words more quickly

                   UK schoolchildren score lower than their equals (同龄人) in nine other countries in world knowledge,
              according to the British Council. In a survey measuring the international viewpoint of young people around
              the world, British pupils scored slightly lower than those in the US and much lower than those in other
              European countries.
                   The survey asked 11 to 16-year-olds with household Intemet access in ten countries some questions to
              learn their attitudes towards language learning and international affairs. Results were scored on an index of 
              0 to 7. Nigeria came top of the table with 5.15, followed by India and Brazil. Within the UK, English
              schootchildren (2.17) scored lowest compared with their counterparts in Scotland (2.35) ,Wales (2.43) and
              Northern Ireland (2.26).
                   British Council chief manager, Martin Davidson, said, "Our schoolchildren cannot afford to fall behind
              the rest of the world. For the UK to compete in a global economy, it is vital that we encourage our young
              people to have an interest in and engagement with the world around them." According to the research, UK
              schoolchildren (32%) are the least likely to go out of their way to understand current events in the world.
              More than twice as many Brazilian (69%) and German children (61%) said they would do so, compared
              with a third of Scottish children.
                   When asked whether they saw themselves as citizens of the world or of their own country, most of the
              school children saw themselves first as world citizens. But children in the UK, US and Czech Republic saw
              themselves more as citizens of their own country.
                   Under three-quarters (70%) of UK, school children felt that it was important to speak a foreign language
              for their future work (65% in Scotland). This compared with 100% of school children in Saudi Arabia, 97%
              in Brazil and India, 85% in China and 73% in America. The foreign language that the UK school children felt
              was most important to learn was French (40% of those naming a foreign language), followed by Spanish
              (31%), German ( 8% ) and then Chinese (60%, rising to 9% in Scotland).
              1. What does the underlined word "counterparts" in Paragraph 2 most probably mean?
              [     ]

              A. Equals.

              C. Parents.
              D. Enemies.
              2. What is the most important foreign language in the opinion of UK schoolchildren?
              [     ]

              A. German.
              B. Chinese.
              C. French.
              D. Spanish.
              3. What is the British Council chief manager's attitude towards the survey results?
              [     ]

              A. Enthusiastic.
              B. Worried.

                   Education is not an end, but a means to an end. In other words, we do not educate children only for the
              purpose of educating them. Our purpose is to fit them for life.
                   In some modern countries it has for some time been fashionable to think that hy free education for all-
              whether rich or poor, clever or stupid-one can solve all the problems of society and build a perfect nation.
              But we can already see that free education for all is not enough; we find in such countries a far larger
              number of people with university degrees refuse to do what they think to be "low" work, and, in fact, work
              with hands is thought to be dirty and shameful in such countries. But we have only to think a moment to
              understand that the work of a completely uneducated farmer is far more important than that of a professor.
              We can live without education, but we die if we have no food. If no one cleaned our streets and took the
              rubbish away from our houses, we should get terrible diseases in our towns.
                   In fact, when we say that all of us must be educated to fit us for life, it means that we must be educated
              in such a way that, firstly, each of us can do whatever work suited to his brains and ability and, secondly,
              that we can realize that all jobs are necessary to society, and that is very bad to be ashamed of one's work.
              Only such a type of education can be considered valuable to society.
              1. The writer of this passage thinks that _____.
              [     ]

              A. education can settle all of the world's problems
              B. free education for all probably leads to a perfect world
              C. free education won't help to solve social problems
              D. all the social problems can't be solved by education
              2. The writer wants to prove that _____.
              [     ]

              A. our society needs all kinds of jobs
              B. our society needs free education for all
              C. a farmer is more important than a professor
              D. people with university degrees refuse to do what they think to be "low" work
              3. According to the passage _____.
              [     ]

              A. work with hands is dirty and shameful
              B. work with hands is low work
              C. work with hands is the most important
              D. we can't regard work with hands as low work
              4. The purpose of education is _____.
              [     ]

              A. to choose a system of education
              B. to prepare children mainly for their future work
              C. to let everyone receive education fit for him
              D. to build a perfect world
              5. The passage tells us about _____.
              [     ]

              A. system of education
              B. means of education
